The Traditional ‘Ukulele Festival Redefined!

Workshops! Private Lessons! UkeTube! Music! Wine! Ukuleles! & More!

Join us for a full day of ‘ukulele fun and excitement, unmatched anywhere, for everyone, at the beautiful, historic grounds of Beringer Vineyards in downtown St. Helena. Here you can attend workshops given by James Hill, Victoria Vox, Ralph Shaw, Dominator, Michelle Kiba, Moe Dixon, and more; take a private lesson with Brittni Paiva or Derrick Sebastian; peruse the ‘ukuleles and other merchandise at the International Marketplace; and enjoy wine tasting through-out the property and stellar performances all day long, brought to you by Ohana Music. Here, too, you can visit Kimo’s Korner, where you’ll have an opportunity to converse, seek expert advice, or simply play along with the noted Kimo Hussey; share your skill and talent at Kala’s UkeTube Booth; or visit the ‘Ukulele Doctor, Mike DaSilva, for a cure for whatever ails your ‘ukulele. And, if you’re bringing someone along who doesn’t play, drop them off at our Rapid-Uke 101 Booth for a quick, 30-minute lesson that will have them humming and strumming in…well…thirty minutes! And then, sit back and relax in the shade of the old Rhine House while James Hill, Victoria Vox, Ralph Shaw, and many more take to the stage to dazzle you with their skill.

Flora Springs Lu’au

An Amazing Way to End the Day

Food! Wine! Music! Hula! Dancing! & More!

Perched on the western hills of the Napa Valley, the Flora Springs Estate offers one of the most magical settings for any occasion, and anyone who knows the good folks at Flora Springs, knows they know how to party. Attendees will receive a fresh flower lei and a commemorative wine glass. The not-so-traditional lu’au menu will offer a fusion of Wine Country and Pacific regional cuisine prepared by local chefs and complemented by award-winning wines. You’ll also have an opportunity to explore the wine caves, catch a whiff of the flowers flown in fresh from Hawai‘i, enjoy the hypnotic dance of Da Island Way, learn to hula, and swing and sway all night long to the wonderful music of Faith Ako, Steven Espaniola, and Michelle Kiba and the Tiki Tones. MusicGuyMic, our generous sponsor, will be on hand with a full array of ‘ukuleles, just incase you didn’t get to see, feel, or play enough of them during the day. And don’t forget to start gathering up all your loose change to deposit in our giant Playing for Change wine bottle to help support their Peace Through Music campaign. We’ll also have a special silent auction and a live auction surprise.
